So i ended up buying 2 new cdi boxes. Wasnt the problem, 150$ down the tubes. I tried running the motor on an external gas tank with fresh gas in it, nothing changed. That rules out having moisture in my gas tank causing these problems. I got new spark plugs and relaced all of the fuel lines. Ive pretty much rulled out it being a fuel issue, im pretty sure its a spark issue. I also posted this question to the bass boat central evinrude forum as someone suggested in this thread, and havent gotten any answers back.
So my next step would be to replace all 4 coils and spark plug wires.as someone else suggested, i tried unplugging the spark plug wires one at a time while the motor was running to locate a bad coil. This is really weird but nothing changed. It ran the same with only 3 spark plug wires plugged in as it did with all 4. I unplugged all for of them one at a time and nothing changed. So does this mean my coils are all ok? Also is there a way to test the coils with a continuity tester or something before i waste another $120 on coils i might not need?
Seems like maybe i have a wire shorting out somewhere in the ignition system?????
Anyone else have any more ideas or suggestions?? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks again guys!
